Look, Ricky Martin gets everyone dancin'!  This week's guest on Discover New Music is Jake from Autumn Kings, who stopped by to talk about the band's latest album, "Epiphanies." Jake opens up about how pushing through the struggles of the pandemic helped shape the band's most personal record yet, why hearing fans sing their original songs louder than the covers is a major milestone, and how a childhood Guitar Hero obsession led to a collaboration with Killswitch Engage's former singer Howard Jones on "Youngbloods." Jake also looks ahead to what this album means for the future of Autumn Kings and reveals which song he'd play for an alien visiting Earth! As always, we wrap things up with Rapid Fire, Canadian slang lessons, Choco Tacos, Bigfoot and a tough decision involving Chuck Norris and Mike Tyson!

Bronner's, chicken dinners and these guys!  This week's guest on Discover New Music is Sam Kiszka of Greta Van Fleet, stopping by to talk about the band's brand-new album, "Palace for the People"! Sam dives into the creative process behind the band's first album in three years, taking some much-needed time away from the road, experimenting with new sounds and world-inspired instruments, and working with producer Mike Elizondo to bring the whole thing to life. Plus, we talk about the latest single "Tear It Down," what fans can expect from their massive 59-city world tour, and which song from the new record Sam would play for an alien to explain the human experience! As always, we wrap things up with a little Rapid Fire, featuring Billy Corgan vs. Billy Idol, Bigfoot vs. the Loch Ness Monster, and Sam's surprisingly high rating for Bugs Bunny in drag!

They Spinal Tapped it up to 11! This week's guest on Discover New Music is Elias Soriano of Nonpoint, stopping by to talk about the band's brand-new album, "The Last Word". Soriano talks about the creative process behind the record, how one song helped the band find its direction, going heavier than ever, and the freedom of releasing music independently. Plus, we get into Nonpoint's nu-metal resurgence, a cool story behind the album artwork, and which song he'd play for an alien to introduce them to the band. As always, a round of Rapid Fire featuring Billy Idol, Mike Tyson and a classic Chuck Norris joke...with a little alien probing thrown in for good measure!

Everything happens for a reason...even when you're pretty sure everything is going completely wrong! This week's guests on Discover New Music are Maria Brink and Chris Howorth of In This Moment, who stopped by to talk about their brand new album, Witch. The two open up about the surprisingly difficult and emotional process of making the record, including realizing after leaving the studio that a big chunk of the album wasn't finished, stepping outside their nearly 20-year comfort zone with producers Kevin and Kane Churko, and bringing in Drew Fulk and other collaborators to help finish the record. Maria also talks about the loss of her father and how that personal experience influenced the album, while Chris and Maria explain how the challenges ultimately helped shape the finished product. We also get into their very "In This Moment" takes on some classic cover songs, including Pink Floyd, Sting and Nine Inch Nails, plus their favorite track to introduce to a little gray alien. And of course a quick round of Rapid Fire featuring sandals, whistle solos, Flintstone Push-Ups and Bigfoot!
